Using a reference slurry, ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS), an anionic and environmentally friendly surfactant, was investigated as an alternative to BTA for its inhibition and lubrication characteristics. Results demonstrated that the inhibition efficiency of ADS was superior to that of BTA. Coefficient of friction (COF) was the lowest when the slurry contained ADS. This suggested that adsorbed ADS on the surface provided lubricating action thereby reducing the wear between the contacting surfaces. Temperature results were consistent with the COF and removal rate data. ADS showed the lowest temperature rise again confirming the softening effect of the adsorbed surfactant layer and less energy dissipation due to friction. Spectral analysis of shear force showed that increasing the pad-wafer sliding velocity at constant wafer pressure shifted the high frequency spectral peaks to lower frequencies while increasing the variance of the frictional force. Addition of ADS reduced the fluctuating component of the shear force and the extent of the pre-existing stick-slip phenomena caused by the kinematics of the process and collision event between pad asperities with the wafer. By contrast, in the case of BTA, there were no such observed benefits but instead undesirable effects were seen at some polishing conditions. This work underscored the importance of real-time force spectroscopy in elucidating the adsorption, lubrication and inhibition of additives in slurries in CMP.

성숙 시기의 넙치 (Paralichthys olivaceus) 어미를 대상으로 난 모세포의 GVBD와 배란유도과정에 TBT/TPhT와 Aroclor 1254의 저해효과를 조사한 결과, TBT (또는 TPhT)와 Aroclor 1254모두 GVBD 과정과 HCG로 전처리한 배란유도 과정에 저해효과를 보였으며, 난모세포의 반응은 Aroclor 1254보다는 TBT에 좀 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다. TBT의 처리 농도별 차이는 TBT 0.1과 1 ppm에서 가장 낮은 GVBD 유도율을 보였으나 $0.0001\~1\;ppm$ 사이에 유의한 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다 TBT의 배란저해 효과는 HCG 처리 구에 비해 HCG+TBT의 모든 실험구 (0.01, 0.1, 1 ppm)에서 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, TBT 처리구 중 가장 높은 농도인 HCG+TBT 1 ppm에서 가장 낮은 배란율을 보였다. 넙치의 GVBD와 배란과정을 유기주석화합물 (TBT, TPhT)이 방해함으로써 이 시기의 주요 호르몬인 progestogens 작용이 저해되는 것으로 생각되며, 앞으로 난소발달 단계별로 세분화하여 그 저해 작용 메커니즘에 대한 실험이 요구된다.

In this study, we experimented the influence of three herbal medicines, which are Saussurea lappa Clarke, Poncirus trifoliata Rafin, Citrus aurantium Linne, which are called 'Yigiyak(理氣藥)' on drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 in Human Liver Microsome. Above all, the reason for this study is that herbal medicines can be assumed that herbs might have interactions with drugs, other herbs, alcohol and chemicals whether those are much better synergy effects than expected effects when the medicine was treated alone or not. As a result, we showed that all of five traditional herbal medicines had no CYP 3A4 inhibition effect on 10, 20, 30, 40, $50{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ doses in Human Liver Microsome even Saussurea lappa Clarke showed a little inhibition as about 93% and 79% inhibition rate of control. However, this result are mostly not enough to prove that SLC has a CYP 3A4 inhibition effect. Moreover, it is not that those rates showed that those herbal medicines have CYP 3A4 induction effect. In conclusion, the result could support that those herbal medicines are more safe than chemical drugs even if this is the basic step to prove that result. Therefore, more specific studies to support this result, which are Kinetic study, cell and animal study then finally until clinical research, are required.

In spite of simple and cheap cultivation method, water broadcast-seeded rice demonstrates uneven and unstable seedling establishment per unit land area and requires more herbicide and labor-input for weed control. Three experiments were conducted in a phytotron at 18$^{\circ}C$ to evaluate the adaptability of seed-mat mulching cultivation technologies in water seeded rice for the uniform seedling establishment and the inhibition of weed occurrence without herbicide application. Five different kinds of mat with different mesh sizes and fabric properties were tested. The emergence of rice was the highest in Lawn-mat treatment, being comparable with the control, in which seeds were sown without mat. The Lawn-mat also exhibited the lowest mat tension. Mat tension may influence the emergence of rice. And once it was soaked in water, it didn't maintain its original shape any more. The emergence rate of rice was the lowest in Safer-mat treatment. In Lawn-mat treatment, which was the most effective for rice emergence in the first study, the differences of emergence and seedling establishment of rice depending on the seeding position (upper, beneath, and between mats) treatments were negligible, while they were higher in dry seeds than in pre-germinated seeds treatment. The emergence as affected by the kinds of mat also showed the same trend when tested using barnyard grass. Depending on the kinds of mat, the inhibition effect of weeds was the greatest in Safer-mat and the poorest in Lawn-mat. These results strongly suggest the possibility that the uniform seedling establishment and weed management without chemical could be achieved simultaneously by seed-mat mulching through the combination of effective mat for the emergence of rice and another efficient mat for the inhibition of weed occurrence. This possibility was also tested in the field.

초음파 (ultrasonic) 조사시간 (irradiation time)에 따른 Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa)의 성장억제 (growth inhibition) 효과를 대용량 (10 L) 조류 시료를 활용해 다양한 초음파 조사시간 동안 (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 hr) 실험실 규모 (lab-scale) 실험을 진행하였다. Chl-a와 M. aeruginosa 개체수 (cell number) 분석 결과, 초음파 조사 종료 이후 모든 실험군에서 Chl-a와 개체수가 감소되어 조류 성장억제가 관찰되었으며, 초음파 조사시간이 2시간 미만인 실험군 (T_B, T_C, T_D)은 저감 이후 조류의 급격한 재성장 (regrowth)이 관측되었으나, 조사시간이 2시간 이상인 실험군 (T_E, T_F, T_G)은 2시간 미만 조사한 실험군 대비 조류성장억제가 1 - 2일 더 지속되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 조류의 개체수가 초기 개체수까지 회복 시간 (recovery time)을 검토한 결과 조사시간 2시간을 기준으로 실험군 T_B (0.5 hr)는 7일, T_C (1 hr)와 T_D (1.5 hr)는 약 20일, T_E, T_F, T_G (≥ 2 hr)는 약 30일이 소요되어 초음파 조사 종료 후 초기 개체수까지의 회복 시간의 차이를 확인하였다. 비성장속도 (𝜇)와 일차분해속도(𝜅)를 도출한 결과, 실험군은 성장억제 기간 동안 초음파 조사시간과 비례하여 높은 일차분해율이 도출되었으며, 조사시간이 2시간 이상인 실험군의 재성장 시 비성장속도 (𝜇)는 2시간 미만인 실험군 대비 비성장속도 (𝜇)가 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 정체수역 내 장기적인 (30일) 조류 성장억제를 위해서는 최소한 2시간 이상의 초음파 조사가 필요한 것으로 판단되나, 조류 성장억제를 위한 적정 초음파 조사시간은 정체수역의 규모, 수심, 흐름속도, 조류 농도 등의 다양한 현장조건에 따라 결정돼야 하며, 실제 적용 가능성을 높이기 위한 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 초음파의 영향으로 인한 M. aeruginosa의 세포 표면 및 내부형질 변화를 관찰한 결과, 조류 세포 표면 및 세포막의 손상이 명확히 관측되었으며, 대조군 대비 실험군의 M. aeruginosa의 기낭 파괴 및 교란이 확인되었다.

Second-order rate constants $k_N$ have been measured spectrophotometrically for nucleophilic substitution reactions of t-butyl 4-pyridyl carbonate 8 with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in $H_2O$ at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Br${\emptyset}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 8 is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.84. The ${\beta}_{nuc}$ value obtained for the reactions of 8 is much larger than that reported for the corresponding reactions of t-butyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 6 (i.e., ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.44), which was proposed to proceed through a forced concerted mechanism. Thus, the aminolysis of 8 has been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate $T^{\pm}$, in which expulsion of the leaving-group from $T^{\pm}$ occurs at the rate-determining step (RDS). In contrast, aminolysis of benzyl 4-pyridyl carbonate 7 has been reported to proceed through two intermediates, $T^{\pm}$ and its deprotonated form $T^-$ on the basis of the fact that the plots of pseudo-first-order rate constant $k_{obsd}$ vs. amine concentration curve upward. The current study has demonstrated convincingly that the nature of the leaving and nonleaving groups governs the reaction mechanism. The contrasting reaction mechanisms have been rationalized in terms of an intramolecular H-bonding interaction, steric acceleration, and steric inhibition.

The present study was aimed to determine if endogenous L-arginine-nitric oxide (NO) pathway has central, rather than peripheral, mechanisms in blood pressure regulation. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate responses to acute inhibition of the t-arginine-NO pathway were examined in rats anesthetized with thiopental (50 mg/kg, IP). An intracerebroventricular (ICV) cannula was placed in the left lateral ventricle. The right femoral artery was cannulated to measure arterial blood pressure and the vein to serve as an infusion route. $N^G-nitro-L-arginine$ methyl ester (L-NAME) was infused either intracerebroventricularly or intravenously. ICV infusion $(1.25\;{\mu}L/min)$ of L-NAME $(20\;or\;100\;{\mu}g/kg)$ per minute for 60 min) increased the mean arterial pressure and heart rate. Plasma renin concentrations(PRC) were significantly lower in L-NAME-infused group than in the control. L-Arginine $(60\;{\mu}g/min,\;ICV)$ prevented the pressor response to ICV L-NAME. The pressor response was not affected by simultaneous intravenous infusion of saralasin, but was abolished by hexamethonium treatment. Intravenous infusion $(40\;{\mu}L/min,\;10{\sim}100\;{\mu}g/kg\;per\;minute\;for\;60\;min)$ also increased blood pressure, while it decreased heart rate. These results indicate that endogenous L-arginine-NO pathway has separate central and peripheral mechanisms in regulating the cardiovascular function. The central effect may not be mediated via activation of renin-angiotensin system, but via, at least in part, activation of the sympathetic outflow.

This study aimed to investigate growth rate and nutrient removal efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris according to nitrogen sources and frequency of pH adjustment. Nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were evaluated in the three different conditions using $NO_3{^-}$, $NH_4{^+}$ as a sole nitrogen source and mixed condition. Initial nutrient concentrations in artificial wastewater were 30 mg-N/L and 3 mg-P/L similar to secondary wastewater effluent. When nitrogen source was $NO_3{^-}$, there was no inhibition on the growth of C. vulgaris with adjusting pH every 24 hr while growth inhibition occurred with $NH_4{^+}$ caused by pH drop. N, P removal efficiencies were no significant depending on the nitrogen sources. As pH was adjusted to 7 by pH-stat, growth rate and nutrient removal efficiencies were increased compared to adjusting pH every 24 hr, however, growth rate and nutrient removal efficiencies were no significant depending on the nitrogen sources.

효소촉매반응은 통상적으로 반응속도가 매우 빠르고 동시에 높은 선택성을 보여 주는 특정이 있다. 단순 효소촉매 반응속도식을 보통 Michaelis-Menten식이라고 부른다. 효소의 활성을 간섭하는 화학물질을 저해제라고 하는데, 효소활성의 저해에는 가역적저해와 비가역적저해의 두 가지 형태로 나타난다. 만일 저해제가 수소결합과 같은 약한 결합으로 효소에 붙게 되면 이런 경우 효소저해는 가역적인 저해로 나타난다. 많은 효소 반응들은 그 반응으로부터 생성되는 생성물 자체에 의해서도 가역적 저해를 받게 된다. 생성물의 생성속도와 더불어 기질의 감소속도식은 비선형 미분방정식으로 나타 낼 수가 있다. 본 연구는 공학 분야의 학부교육을 목적으로 단순 효소반응속도식과 보다 더 복잡한 저해 효소반응속도식에 대한 수치해석의 결과를 보고 하고자 한다.

It has been known that continuous cultivation of hairy root is difficult to maintain for a long period of time compared to the microbial and callus cultures. Chemostat cultivation was successfully carried out in order to economically produce a plant-based colorant, betacyanin, from red beet hairy root for more than 85 days in a 14-1 fermentor. The result from the chemostat cultivation was compared to those of the batch and fed-batch cultivations of red beet hairy roots. It was shown that hairy root reached its steady state within 50 days of the cultivation, and then maintained for about 25-30 days in a wide range of dilution rates. Total betacyanin production from the continuous process was also calculated to be 2.65g at 0.28(l/d) of dilution rate, compared to 0.196g from fed-batch cultivation. It was found that betacyanin production was a partially growth related process, yielding 0.376 mg/g-fresh wt. cell and $1.89{\times}10^{-5}$ mg/g-fresh wt. cell/d, with 0.92 of correlation factor in a partial growth-product model. It was also shown that the cell growth required was relatively large for maintenance amount of energy at a low dilution rate. The growth of hairy root was inhibited by high light intensity in following a photo-inhibition model. The growth parameters were estimated to be 0.3(l/d), $10.56kcal/\textrm{m}^2/h$,{\;}and{\;}35.81kcal/\textrm{m}^2/h$ for the maximum specific growth rate, half saturation light intensity, and inhibition light intensity, respectively.
